Start your adventure. We’re here when you’re ready.
We operate on a rolling-admissions basis, meaning you can apply any time during the year (except for pharmacy, which has a priority application date of Dec. 1). But if you submit your application early (by Dec. 1), you’ll be considered for more scholarships.
I chose ONU for the small class sizes and the ability to have strong relationships with my professors.Karam Abuhelal, double major in psychology and sociology
